An Interesting Murder Trial Begun at San
Antonio Yesterday.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. l8.-The
Lily Gibson murder trial began in the
district court this morning, and the work
OF summoning a jury was commenced.
The first venire was soon exhausted and
one juror, a colored man named Breckin-
ridge, was secured. Another venire was
ordered and court was adjourned
until Tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock
OF San Antonio and Buck Walton of Aus
LID, supposed to be the best criminal
talent OF the state, are engaged for the de-
tense. The latter mas created good deal
OF natoriety for him elf as biogrspher of
Ben Thompson of siX-shooter fame. As
was expected, the court room was
crowded with eager spectators and the
trail Lily was the observed of all
observers. She was dressed in deep
black, the somoer hue of her garments be-
ing relieve d by plain white collar and
cuffs. Her long confinement in the coun-
ty jail appears to have improved her nat
ural beauty. She looks considerably
thinner than when she last appeared in
the courtroom. The brilIiancy of her
fine black eyes is in no way dimmed,
and no one could tell from her mien
that she was suffering any mental anxiety.
During the trial she is accompanied by
George Cook Of St. Louis, brother OF
Cliff Cook. Speculations as to the out
come OF the trial are INDUCED in. Many
are OF the opinion thai she will be &C.
quilted on the ground that the life pen
atty awarded to her husband is sufficient |
atonement for the murder of Russell.

Afflicted French Rabbits.

Australians. who complained some
time ago Of the superabundance Of rab-
bits in their grassy plains and scant
woodlands. could not do better than to
arrange for the shipment of q few
cargoes of their prolific rodents to
France. 1t appears that French rab-
bits are afflicted with a dropsical kind
of disease called the pros ycntre. It
was at first thought hat the disease
was produced among animals that fed
on green stuff which had been satur.
ated with aqueous elements during
the rainy season. or owing to m arshy
soils. But it also app cared among
the rabbits In southern or
inland places where the soil was either
sandy Of rocky and the vegetation
parched by the Jun and drought. So
widespread and disastrous has the rab-
bit disease become that many land.

trade, not merely because it may bring
him a better horse, but for the pleasure
which the trade affords him. An
Oriental merchant and his customer
find Il similar pleasure in buying and
selling. The process may be long, but
it is never tiresomc to them. When a
>hop-keepcr of Cairo is asked the price

clares the price exorbitant and offers
one-half the sum named. which the
merchant declines to accept. The Gus

lights his pipe. Then the contest
begins. The shop-keeper lowers his

rupts the contest by introducing an IT,
r%evelant topic, as if he had determined
to bid no higher. But the haggling is
soon resumed, and continues until the
two meet halfway between the sum
first demanded and that first offered.
If the purchase is a large one, the
merchant calls to the boy of the nearest
~cofoo-shop and orders him to bring
coffee. 1t is served to the customer in
